This picture used to be me! I competed in my first Figure Competition in 2010 and this was taken the following summer when I was starting to do a little fitness modeling. Then life happened...I went through a divorce, got a job that I love as a 911 dispatcher, but is very stressful and has me sitting about 10-12 hours a day, always lots of food around; I also met my (now) fiancé who, while in incredible shape himself loves wining and dining me. These things combined has led to a weight gain over the past 2 years of around 25 lbs. and gone are the days of showing off my abs and biceps. I've gone from a size 4 to a size 8-10. I tried to start doing something about it last summer but got really sick about one month in that led to more weight and I just stopped going to the gym altogether. This weight gain has thrown me into a depression the last few months. I haven't been motivated to go to the gym or try eating healthy at all. I am at my breaking point now, tired of squeezing into my jeans, avoiding pictures and family get-togethers, feel lousy about myself, and lousy internally. I am ready to get my old body back!!
